Texaco Brake Fluid DOT-4, 5L
Texaco Brake Fluid DOT-4
is an efficient performance non-petroleum automotive brake fluid, designed for use in conventional hydraulic brakes and clutch systems, where DOT 4 fluids are recommended.
Product description
Brake Fluid DOT 4 is a complex mixture of polyglycol ethers, glycol ether borate esters and polyglycols with additional corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.
Customer benefits
Higher boiling point (260°C) than other DOT 4 brake fluids, and retention of boiling point in service helps prevent high temperature vapour formation, maintaining braking performance longer than DOT 3 products
Contributes an additional safety margin against vapour lock when compared with lower specification fluids
Buffered formulation maintains pH level in the alkaline range, helping protect cast iron and steel components
Inhibitors contribute to corrosion protection of a wide variety of metals including aluminium, brass, copper, zinc and tin
Seal swell and lubricity characteristics help prevent fluid leaks and reduce component wear
Thermal and oxidation stability helps resist fluid degradation, maintaining key performance features throughout fluid service life
Suitable for a wide range of vehicle types, reducing inventories
Applications
Brake Fluid DOT 4 meets the recognised standards for clutch and brake fluids as demanded by leading motor vehicle manufacturers.
All hydraulically operated motor vehicle braking systems (drum and disc types) for which a DOT 4, SAE J1704 or ISO 4925 Class 4 fluid is specified
Make-up or service fill of braking systems requiring DOT 3, SAE J1703 or ISO 4925 Class 3 fluids
Vehicles with anti-lock (ABS) braking systems
Hydraulic clutch systems requiring conventional fluids
Passenger cars, commercial road transport, off-highway vehicles, agricultural tractors and motorcycles
Brake Fluid DOT 4 is compatible with other brands of DOT 4/DOT 3 brake fluid.
Brake Fluid DOT 4 should not to be used in systems designed for mineral oil based fluids (LHM), for example certain Citroën models, or where Silicone DOT 5 fluids are recommended.
